Matamata Temporary Library is open!

You’ll be spoilt for choice this week. There are as many styles of writing as there are women in the world, so you’re bound to find something to your taste in the library.

A book with more than 500 pages!

When was the last time you were brave enough to pick up a book with over 500 pages? We tend to shy away from these tomes due to the large chunks of time they take up. And when we do commit to big books, we want them to be worth the effort.

While monster-sized books can often be intimidating and hard to get into, some of the greatest works (past and present) are over 500 pages…

Matamata Library has closed for the move to the temporary site. We are hoping to reopen as soon as possible, and we will keep you updated with the latest news.

The temporary library will be located opposite the Memorial Hall on Tainui Street. Until this opens keep using the after-hours slot at the current library if you have books to return.

Don't forget there are e-books and audiobooks available through Overdrive if you cannot be without a book (check out the digital tab for more information). Or drop by Morirnsville Library or Te Aroha Library for a change of scenery - we would love to see you.

We apologise for any inconvenience and disruption this may cause. We look forward to seeing you in our temporary library as soon as possible.
